Last Hope at First Episode
I'm just one of the impatient girl, watching medical drama without english sub. So, I may not understand all those medical related terms going on except the words 'operate' and 'cancer' (yeah, I've watched lots medical drama too LOL). But, allow me to say 1 thing, Last Hope shows that Aiba-chan can act, he just need a better written drama and this is one of them. I didn't see any majorly forced expression that made me cringe, so I'm happy with this and hope he's doing better and better in latter episode. He does need to take lesson from Nino to express more angst but he definitely has no problem in looking as a kakkoii doctor though.
Off course, being cash cow machine, Arashi has to do the OST song, 'Calling,' and I can't wait to see the performance because it's a cool song!
Proper review will be done after the whole series get subbed, until then... I'm here for the pretties... and Aiba-chan not joking with the 'medical suspend entertainment' thingy LOL...



Capping because I like how bright his eyes are when explaining things to patient :).



Hatano Sensei angsty look yet so pretty, so this is his expression every time he stares at the head of medical center (dunno his name is). Aiba-chan, I'm OK with this, but I think you can do better and improve, please take a lesson from Nino ne :D.


Capping this because it's so cute and funny, and look at Tachibana Sensei's eye rolling expression :D.

Aiba-chan + Engrish = never gets old, whether it's in drama or variety.
This is why 'young' becomes 'yangu' (watch Nep League and you'll understand).


Another angsty from the OP, and can't wait for the single to come out.







First cap, I can see his confidence as doctor in this explaining scene. Second cap, just coz he's pretty.


I love this scene here where the patient's fiancee is confiding her love story to Hatano Sensei, how they met and what they want to do next year etc, and Hatano Sensei is just listening to her attentively. Second cap is bonus because I just have a thing with Aiba-chan side profile LOL...





When such a cute doctor deliver the news to you (off course it's a good news, look at the smile, it's sparkling --> Johnny's style), won't you be happy?




OK Aiba-chan, really, you're pretty, but please learn more from Nino on doing the 'shaking w/ emotion' act. Overall, well done Aiba-chan, and I look forward for the next episode (and the sub for this episode as well)!
And I wish I have Hatano sensei attending to my VERY VERY bad ankle sprain now...

I think with Aiba, he probably needs a good director/script. He's not a natural actor and needs good direction. But this must be a good role for him - he's so kind in real life that I think he can understand people as a doctor.
no subject
It's in his voice. His voice is calming, so you kind of see hope in it. (but again, maybe it's just me LOL)...

no subject
googling about if someone review or already subbed it..and I find your journal :p
I'm like you, I dont understand at all about the drama without english sub, but I'm too curious about the story and Aiba act...XD
no subject
no subject
so you can understand with japanese hardsub...:o
realy I'm too curious with Hatano Sensei's past..I guess this is the first time I want to see Aiba drama badly..:p
I'll read your next ep review too,thx for your hardwork ^_^/
no subject
Hatano sensei's past is still bits and pieces even in Ep3, I can't even guess what's actually going on.. and Ep3 is revealing more links...
no subject
The many faces of Hatano sensei - I'm glad that they gave Aiba a better role than some of his weaker plotted dramas. Not that I mind ... you know pretty idols standing around looking good. But having a good plot and interesting character helps the interest keep going.
no subject
The first 2 episodes were delish with those pretty faces LOL... he's seriously a pretty doctor hahaha...
and the combi of Hatano & Tachibana works well too! I like her character in here (after being impressed with her acting in Ooku Tanjou)...
Yes, thanks to FujiTV for giving him chance considering his track records... all those not so strong in storyline drama *hint to Bartender & Mikeneko and particularly Mikeneko* haha... but I'd think there are other factors for Aiba-chan being casted here... somehow it's comforting to listen to him advising patients, it's not comanding and if I were the patient, I think I'd trust him... >o<V
no subject
I know product placement is a big thing with dramas, because they do get the money from the sponsorship ... but it just make the less than believable storyline ... even less believable!
Plus I didn't like how his character was bullied by everybody. Even the people he was trying to help they bullied him and took advantage of him. Even though they say this was how the story went I just wasn't keen on the idea.
Although credit to Aiba ... he did his very best with both those roles.
I hope he gets given much better roles after this because he is learning a lot from the cast and he is doing such a wonderful job!
Although if I was his patient ... I'd probably never want to leave the hospital ... I might even end up stalking him .... mwahahahahah!

what???? those ugly tweeded jacket is burberry? lollll n head to toe too? i di notice yoshitaro housewear is super nice for a police famuly n now that u mention it.... producer... what were u thinking... omg...
what i hate the most fr mikeneko was aiba-chan make up, the make up artist did a very bad job on that pretty face, all the close up shots... i can count his pores!!!! fujitv did a way far better job on this
set that aside, mikeneko was just recipe for disaster coz we have a lazy drama team just relying on arashi stardom for rating n i was quite sad that ppl bash on aibachan acting in there where he's actually done the best of what provided to him... its the freaking drama team!!! not aibaby lollll
